Then directions can be described by saying, for example, that the direction of the second step is 3 o'clock, and the direction of the third step is between 4 and 5 o'clock. [4] By compass points: Assuming that the dancer faces North at any moment, one may say, e.g., "take a step North-West". [citation needed]

Direction of traction relative to some coordinate system - e.g., the available traction of a tire often differs between cornering, accelerating, and braking. [ 8 ]
Close to any point on the surface of an aircraft or airfoil, the air is moving parallel to the surface; but at a great distance from the aircraft or airfoil, the movement of the air can be represented by a single vector. This vector is the relative wind or the free stream velocity vector. [1]
Since linear motion is a motion in a single dimension, the distance traveled by an object in particular direction is the same as displacement. [4] The SI unit of displacement is the metre . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] If x 1 {\displaystyle x_{1}} is the initial position of an object and x 2 {\displaystyle x_{2}} is the final position, then mathematically the ...
A yaw rotation is a movement around the yaw axis of a rigid body that changes the direction it is pointing, to the left or right of its direction of motion. The yaw rate or yaw velocity of a car, aircraft, projectile or other rigid body is the angular velocity of this rotation, or rate of change of the heading angle when the aircraft is horizontal.
The direction of ω is chosen using the right-hand rule. With this convention for depicting rotation, the velocity is given by a vector cross product as v = ω × r , {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} ={\boldsymbol {\omega }}\times \mathbf {r} ,} which is a vector perpendicular to both ω and r ( t ) , tangential to the orbit, and of magnitude ω r .
In comics and art more broadly, motion lines (also known as movement lines, action lines, speed lines, [1] or zip ribbons) are the abstract lines that appear behind a moving object or person, parallel to its direction of movement, to make it appear as if it is moving quickly.
